Are you suggesting what the posts on /k/ would be like in the above situation, or are you responding to this thread in particular?

>>33564171

It would be the exact same.

State of the art Russian S-400 unable (or worse, unwilling) to stop 70's subsonic drones? Yes. It would be the same shitstorm of russian damage control.

Look at all the threads of damage control. Look at it, and know true tears.

>>33564180
As the USA told Russia what they were going to do, it's not much of a leap to suggest that they stood their AA down accordingly.

>>33564188

>it's not much of a leap to suggest that they stood their AA down accordingly.

Why? they know they are drones.

They cucked themselves out then, abandoning their ally.

Syrian manned IADN still failed in any case.

>>33564212

That's still a possibility, though.

Syria is a Russian ally, but they also know how unstable the whole situation is AND they know the value of choosing which fights are worth it when dealing with the only other big bully on the playground.

>>33564260
>That's still a possibility, though.

Sure, but it looks real fucking bad, especially the ambiguity of the evidence.

I would be real pissed at russia if i was a Syrian right now.

>>33564157
kek

>>33564188
Why would the Russians feel at risk politically for shooting down unmanned cruise missiles? Be honest, tomahawks fly very low and unless they got caught directly in the path of a dozen SA-22's there was little that Russia could have done to prevent them from reaching their target. I apply this same logic to NATO. If Russia launched 59 kh-55s at an airbase, their would be little that we could do to stop it.

We'd still be LMAOing our asses off at how cucked russia got.
They had to be warned to get out because they couldn't stop the attacks.

If it was an US airbase, it would have AWAC's support along with ground based radars. Fighters would be vectored to shoot down the cruising missiles.

It would not be perfect, but i think the US would have fared better.

>>33564124
Same bullshit /pol/ shitposting of course

>>33564124
All but one Tomahawk hit.


People are morons because they think that each target gets one missile. In the real world, each target would get mutiple missiles assigned.


But why would morons like OP understand that

Once you figure out the complicated web of multi-faction shilling the butthurt is so fucking good.

Yeah, nape of the earth flight paths usually evade ground based targeting systems - honestly surprised there isn't greater use of ELINT and AWACS spotter balloons, just scatter a dozen of the fuckers around an area and wire feed their results into a central stratcom network instead of having ground based transmitter/receiver stations.

I'm not a US shill by any means but come on guys this 50% failure rate stuff is directly from Russian PR, it's probably best to wait and see some third party confirmation before believing it.

Oh boy, i cant wait to watch the russian cucks do nothing just like they did when Syrian-san was getting brutally fucked.

>>33564416

No shit, but it does not matter.

50% success rate in an IADN with zero fucking EWAR (how would the US anyways with no ewar assets) is fucking great, and terrible for the IADN.

It should have been a fucking turkey shoot.

funny how you lost to the same rice farmers lmao.

How was it a failure when all but one hit?

>and over half of them failed to hit the target

[citation needed]

>with the rest causing minimal damage

15 destroyed aircraft, the fuel depot and multiple hangers is minimal damage?

OH GOOD GOD, Shayrat is near impossible to hit from the sea without going through the coastal defense network.

That legitimately is embarassing.

>>33564459

To be fair if they took out some sheds and put holes in a few runways it's fairly easy to repair - UK found during the Falklands that it takes a disturbing amount of ordinance to actually take even a small airbase out of action. The real weak point of air bases is the planes, not the base itself, pretty much anything else on a base can be fairly quickly repaired or replaced if neccesary, because it's just a collection of concrete boxes and flat tarmac.

(there's been a slightly comical aspect to all this of Trump phrasing this attack as though he's punishing the airbase for the sarin attack, like the ancient greeks held a trial for the knife used in a ritual sacrifice)

I'd ask what percentage of the entire British arsenal 59 tomahawks represents.

How can you shoot them all down if you aint there?

Essentially what it looks like right now: Russians snickering all over the place.

Wasn't that the kid that to flew to Russia for the lulz?

>>33564124
Russhit tears will soak the ground for a millennia.

>>33564337
Only 39 targets were hit. The loss of 20 missiles represents more than half of all missiles launched. This is embarrassing failure shows that the US is a paper tiger no longer ready to fight wars. Trtumpf has already made the US weaker.

>>33565671
this

>>33565671
Your argument relies on the premise that only one missile per target was used, which is naive at best.

Tovarish, as much as I love Russian shitposting, and how Russian doctrine never really understood PGMs, can you put a bit more effort into it?

That's the same setup they have actually. They even have purpose built MiG-31s for the job.

Shitting on the bongs about how incompetent their military is.

But because /k/ is majority americuck, they love to jump on the defensive and asshurt control.

the US military is a fucking J O K E.

>>33565367
yes, and showed the world what a joke the soviet air defense network was in the process.
...and can be partially credited with the fall of communism in east europe.

>I would be real pissed at russia if i was a Syrian right now.

Which probably doesn't mean much to the Russians.

If the attack had been directed at a more important target or even in the general of a Russian strategic position I bet they would have done more about it. As it stands it's better long term for them to let Trump have his "response" to the chemical attack.

>>33565359
Exactly.
They couldn't.

The why isn't the issue so much as the fact :
USA can hit what they want when they want... and other nations are either too incompetent or too scared to do anything.

If you look at the satellite pics it reflects this. Areas that Russia said we're one strike were actually 2-3.
